Chapter 107: Not the Same, Young Man's Journey (Additional chapter 23 for leader 'Panda Mountain Man') Time goes back to a little earlier time. Dumbledore's dream. At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the Hogwarts Hall, looking up at the ceiling. The ceiling was enchanted to display a sky full of stars. "elder brother?" Suddenly, Ariana's voice sounded behind Dumbledore. Dumbledore turned around and saw his terrified sister. She seemed to have anticipated something. "You're leaving, right?"
Ariana said timidly, "Can't you stay with me? I'm going to patrol the Forbidden Forest soon. I'll be very scared without you to protect me..." Dumbledore smiled and did not answer the question directly. He said - "Ariana, remember to eat on time and listen attentively in class. If you have any troubles, tell Aberforth. As a brother, he is more responsible than me. "By the way, I gave that good-looking boy you mentioned earlier a lesson..." Dumbledore was clearly smiling, but he looked uglier than crying. "do not want!" Ariana threw herself into Dumbledore's arms, "You can't leave! You said you would protect me!" Dumbledore gently stroked his sister's hair. "Ariana, of course I am willing to protect you forever." He said, "But now I am more than just a brother. There are countless little wizards in the outside world waiting for me to protect." Ariana grabbed Dumbledore's clothes and refused to let go. "Ariana..." Calling his sister's name once again, Dumbledore's voice was trembling. He took a few deep breaths before uttering the last words. "I've already lost you!" Then, he used all his strength to push his sister away from his arms. "I'm Albus Dumbledore! Your brother, but also the Headmaster of Hogwarts!" He said hoarsely, "I lost my Ariana, and I will never let others lose their 'Ariana'!" After saying that, he simply closed his eyes, and the Elder Wand appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Dumbledore put the tip of his wand to his head and pressed it hard. "elder brother!" Ariana's voice was still in her ears, but it was getting farther and farther away. When the sound completely disappeared, Dumbledore opened his eyes. He has returned to reality. …… Grindelwald's dream. He had just completed the speech he had always dreamed of, but he did not get the happiness he had imagined. "Gellert?" Dumbledore came to him, "Our vision is about to come true, why don't you look very happy?" "Because I suddenly realized something." Grindelwald said, "The dream that has truly come true is actually only mine." Dumbledore was stunned: "But your dream is my dream." "Yeah yeah……" Grindelwald murmured, "What you said is the reason why I had this dream." He suddenly turned and looked at Dumbledore. "Thank you, Albus." Grindelwald stepped back step by step. "Thank you for helping me realize my dream in my dream. Now it's time for me to return to reality and realize your dream." He turned his head and saw a mirror on the table. A frail and old face with white hair was reflected inside. Grindelwald touched his face and suddenly smiled bitterly. “I’m already this old.” If you don't do some things now, it will be too late. "Gellert!" Dumbledore held out his hand, trying to keep him. But no one can change what Delindover has decided. He flipped his hand and the Elder Wand appeared in his hand. "This is not my wand." Grindelwald said lightly.
Then, the old wand changed and became a very new wand. "Albus." Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and he smiled, "See you later!" As these words were spoken, everything around him disappeared in an instant. Grindelwald opened his eyes and returned to reality. At this time, the real Dumbledore was about to walk out of the ward, and he also woke up. "Albus!" Grindelwald somersaulted to his feet and shouted to Dumbledore, "I just dreamed of you. Did you dream of me?" "Mr. Gale." Dumbledore turned around and said calmly, "I'm glad you're awake. Hogwarts is in danger. We have to hurry and save the students." Then he left the ward. Grindelwald froze in place. If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager. He gave a wry smile, knowing this would happen. Oh shit. "Mr. Principal, wait for me!" Professor Gale shouted, quickly catching up with Dumbledore. …… Inside the house where every wish is granted, two old men appeared out of nowhere. Dumbledore raised his head and looked at the Phoenix Patronus that was fighting with the Blood Eagle. "Is your patronus still the phoenix?" he asked. "It hasn't changed." Gale replied unhappily. "That's fine too." Dumbledore said, and then he put all his energy into the battlefield. When he and Professor Gale appeared, Rowena Ravenclaw sighed. "Neither of us can kill each other," she said. "You are humble." Dumbledore said calmly, "You have the ability to resurrect infinitely, but we don't. If possible, I still want to resolve it peacefully." "Resolve it peacefully... Alas!"
Ravenclaw actually has the ability to kill people, after all, that annoying Gryffindor has been sealed, and there are only two old guys left in Hogwarts. Even if she could only end up in a draw, she would be able to outlast the two old guys. But why bother? She knew very well in her heart that she had already lost. When she pulled Dumbledore into the dream before, she said - "Then let me see how smart you are." And now Dumbledore broke free from the dream by his own will. Then he had indeed proved himself within the rules set by Ravenclaw. Even if Ravenclaw really created a new world, Dumbledore would be qualified to be a part of it. She had indeed lost. So be it. Ravenclaw sighed helplessly: "You win, I'm leaving." She waved her hand casually, and the Blood Eagle disappeared on the spot. The loser queen Ravenclaw was also ready to leave this sad place. She thought, why not find a vacant lot and build a new school from scratch? At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly asked: "Where are you going?" "Do you have to control where I go?" Ravenclaw said dissatisfiedly. "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant." Dumbledore explained, "I mean, Hogwarts is your home, why wouldn't you choose to stay?" stay? Ravenclaw didn't expect that the current headmaster would be so generous. "Are you sure you want to keep me?" Ravenclaw smiled, "I almost wiped out the entire school." "You were originally the founder of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, "Besides, one more friend is always better than one more enemy." This is not a question of being generous or not. Ravenclaw is now immortal and possesses powerful ancient magic, which there is no way to deal with. Dumbledore couldn't sleep well if he let her run around outside. Let’s not talk about what Deng really thinks. At least before finding all the Deathly Hallows, Rowena Ravenclaw was an old friend of Hogwarts. Ravenclaw was also somewhat tempted by Dumbledore's invitation. It's not impossible for her to stay, it will be good for her.
Building a new school from scratch would be too slow after all, and if she were to come back to life, parents might become afraid of her and be unwilling to send their children there. In that case, why not stay in Hogwarts and see if there are any good talents worth cultivating. but-- "It's fine for me to stay, but I have one condition." Ravenclaw suddenly pointed at Bruce who was watching the fun nearby. "You have to leave this little bastard to me!" Bruce's smile froze for a moment. How does this have anything to do with him? The smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts. Bruce's original smile now shifted to Katum's face. "Congratulations, Awei. I'm afraid the old woman has taken a fancy to you." He said, "Fortunately, you also exercise regularly, so you shouldn't be very tired." "Katum, how could you be so perverted?" Bruce said expressionlessly, "I'm still a child, and my life story is tragic. Isn't it too bad for you to make fun of me? "But it doesn't matter. I've already apologized on your behalf. It won't happen again." "Hey, kid!" Katum opened his mouth and was about to curse. At this time, Dumbledore was asking questions to Ravenclaw. "What do you mean by leave it to you? And why Bruce?" Why Bruce? When Ravenclaw thought of what Bruce had said before, he wanted to just take action and tear his mouth apart. "By handing it over to me, I mean that from today on, he is my apprentice. I will teach him some real skills, but at the same time, his fate is also decided by me!" She said apprentice, not student. What it represents is the traditional master-apprentice system. "It's over, little bat." Katum said, "You have three years to learn the skills and two years to serve." "What are you talking about?" Bruce didn't understand. "nothing." After Ravenclaw stated her request, Dumbledore was unable to give a response. Because it depends on Bruce's wishes. He looked at the little bat with questioning eyes. After thinking for a moment, Bruce asked Ravenclaw a key question - "If I become your disciple, what can I learn?" “You can learn anything you want.”
Ravenclaw smiled maliciously, "How about alchemy? I can teach you all the alchemy I know, as long as you become my disciple." At this moment, Bruce clearly felt that Ravenclaw was very eager to take him in as an apprentice, and he did not even try to hide it. The old woman must have bad intentions! "You can't agree to her, Bruce, she's not a good woman!" Katum advised, “If you follow her in the future and she abuses you, I won’t be able to do anything about it.” He could imagine what would happen in the future. When Bruce returns to the dormitory, he might have a bruised face. As the godfather, Owl could only respond to Ravenclaw in this tone - "Teacher, teacher, why did our Awei get beaten again today? Teacher, please pay more attention to the child. He is quite introverted." Thinking of this, Katum couldn't help but shudder. Forget it, don't let Bruce feed the tiger with his own body. "Bruce, will you?" Dumbledore is confirming Bruce's wishes. After hesitating for a moment, Bruce said, "Professor, I don't..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ravenclaw. "Think carefully," she said. "Alchemy is very powerful. It can even create life artificially." Artificially creating life? Katum muttered quietly: "Alchemical life? Created to call big brother?"
